My colleagues and I are writing a series of posts on #reading and #notetaking . Today, I've written a quick introduction to Speed Reading — seasoned readers already know these tips, but I hope that they are useful to the rest of us.

Learn Speed Reading to accelerate your learning

Why should you get better at Reading? Do you remember being taught to read? If you are like me, then you probably don't. We are taught in school when we are young and then it's just assumed that we "know how to read". But, like any other subject, you can continue to improve at reading.

The Art of Textbook Note-taking

In the pursuit of academic success, note-taking plays a pivotal role in every student's journey. As we, at Salher, discovered a common trend: while many students rely on their notes to prepare for examinations, only a handful possess an effective system for taking textbook notes. In this blog post, we aim to address this issue and equip you with practical and easy-to-implement tricks that will elevate your textbook note-taking skills.

(3/n) Continuing our series of posts on #notetaking, today we talk about the "blank slate" approach. If you are planning to read your text-book multiple times before the exam, this is definitely something you should read!

A Fresh Approach to Note-Taking: The Blank Sheet Method Explained

The blank sheet note-taking method is a great way to trigger the brain's creativity and make it more receptive to new information. By jotting down what you already know about a topic, you are priming your brain to learn more efficiently.

@vedang I wrote an article about my approach, but it is in Czech only: https://www.lifehacky.cz/jak-mene-cist/
Jak méně číst, ale mít z toho víc

Jako nakladatel často slýchám výtku „máte skvělé knihy, ale kdy to mám všechno přečíst?“ Lze se pocitu zavalení vyhnout a přitom vytěžit maximum z toho, co svět nabízí? Ano. Ale zadarmo to nebude.

@tombarys No worries, I asked the browser to translate it to English and read it. It's great!
